Having testy exchanges with reporters is good, so long as it's respectful. It's exactly what we have a free press for. It's not any sort of anomaly or disqualifier for any leader to do so, again - so long as it's respectful

Agreed in general, and for my part the issue is seeing the hypocrisy of many on this board (and elsewhere) who would complain endlessly against the politicians that aren’t on “their team”, and then make incessant excuses when it is someone on their side. Of course there are those blind partisans on all sides of the political spectrum, but on this board it tends to be dominated by those on the left. But they are the same in their lack of balance and critical thought as the MAGAs are down south, constantly justifying and rationalizing the failings of their team, while convincing themselves that everything the other team does is terrible.
I love different political views, but I despise blindly partisan hypocrits for where they are bringing our political and societal landscape. Trump supporters are exhibit A, but we see many with similar qualities on this board as well.
